To verify the prevalence and clinical impact of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in outpatients with bipolar disorder.Eighty-one disorder 79 healthy control subjects were recruited. Patients required not to be acutely manic or depressed. We used Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Functioning Assessment Short Test assess sleepiness, sleep problems functioning, respectively.Patients had a higher (40%) than group (18%). disturbance independent impacts on disability...
Summary Background Social and environmental factors such as poverty or violence modulate the risk course of schizophrenia. However, how they affect brain in patients with psychosis remains unclear. Aims We studied are related to structure schizophrenia controls Latin America, where these large unequally distributed. Method This is a multicentre study magnetic resonance imaging from six American cities. Total voxel-level grey matter volumes, their relationship neighbourhood characteristics...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability tianeptine as an adjunctive maintenance treatment for bipolar depression. Methods: This is a multicenter double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial 37.5 mg/day. Participants ( n=161) had Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale ⩾12 at entry. After eight weeks open-label treatment, those who responded n=69) were n=36) or placebo n=33) in addition usual treatment. Kaplan-Meier estimates Mantel-Cox log-rank...
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with bipolar disorder. The aim this study was to evaluate factors associated positive coronary calcium score (CCS) individuals disorder type 1.Patients from Bipolar Disorder Program at Hospital de Clínicas Porto Alegre, Brazil, underwent computed tomography scanning for measurement. Clinical and sociodemographic variables were compared between according their CCS status: negative (CCS = 0) or > 0). Poisson regression analysis...
Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SZ) are chronic heterogeneous mental disorders that present cognitive functional impairments. Verbal memory is considered an important predictor of functioning a domain vulnerable to the aging process. However, only few studies investigate progression longitudinally in BD SZ, especially lower- middle-income countries. Therefore, we aim evaluate course verbal individuals with SZ. Methods: We assessed 31 27 SZ under treatment at outpatient...
Objective: To investigate associations between body mass index (BMI), white matter fractional anisotropy (FA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in a group of individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) during euthymia compare them control healthy subjects (CTR).Methods: The sample consisted 101 (BD n = 35 CTR 66).Regions interest (ROI) were defined using machine learning approach.For each ROI, regression model tested the association FA BMI, controlling for covariates.Peripheral CRP levels assayed,...
Obesity is associated with both structural and functional changes of the central nervous system, frequent in psychiatry settings. The increased prevalence obesity schizophrenia (SCZ) bipolar disorder (BD) illness severity, functioning impairment cognitive deficits. It cannot be attributed to biases inherent treatment-seeking samples, given that this association detectable even drug-naïve patients. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) analyses major brain fibers disorders show shared abnormalities...
Abstract Background Sexual function is highly neglected in individuals with schizophrenia (SZ). Clinicians usually underestimate the rates of sexual dysfunctions these patients, and this group does not spontaneously complain about it. dysfunction population could reach up to 80% its known affect all domains function. Moreover, it may be linked stigma discrimination factors. Medication side effects on sexuality concern more than any other effects, a major cause poor quality life non-adherence...
